The Number 2 pick in RO purifier is the Livpure Smart Bolt model with 7L water capacity & RO+UV+Mineralizer. It comes with 6-stage purification; In-Tank UV sterilization and a mineralizer. Mineralizer adds minerals to water if the TDS is low. There is no TDS controller. Instead, mineralizer is good. It has a 12L/H filtration capacity & LED indicator.

It is a wonderful water purifier for small families of 2-3 members as it has a 7L capacity. Unlimited water is available for INR 525. INR 6K-7K is a bearable charge. Con- it can purify water only up to 1500 TDS. Avoid it if the TDS level of water is above that. Check your TDS level and then decide whether to buy it or not.

Number 3 pick in RO purifier is HUL Pureit Eco Water Saver with 10L water capacity & RO+UV+MF filter. It comes with 7-stage purification & 24L/H filtration capacity which is good.

INR 4k-5k must be spent every year for filter change if the filter gets damaged due to high TDS.

KENT gives a 1-year comprehensive warranty. It costs INR 15,500.

Pros & Cons-

It comes with almost everything including RO+UV+UF or carbon. We don’t think UF is needed as the RO membrane is already there. TDS control is the worst thing as it fails the concept of water purification. TDS can never be controlled in the membrane. It can only be controlled he mixing unpurified & purified water. We think the idea of purified water is lost when you mix unpurified water with purified water.

UV + UF Water Purifiers
